Recharts
Recharts is a composable charting library built on React and D3.js, designed to create interactive and customizable data visualizations in web applications. It provides a declarative API with React components for various chart types like line, bar, pie, and scatter plots, making it easy to integrate charts into React projects. The library leverages D3.js under the hood for calculations and SVG rendering, while offering a React-friendly interface for developers.
Developers should use Recharts when building React applications that require data visualizations, as it simplifies chart creation with reusable components and reduces the learning curve compared to raw D3.js. It is ideal for dashboards, analytics tools, and reports where interactive and responsive charts are needed, offering features like tooltips, legends, and animations out-of-the-box. Its composable nature allows for easy customization and integration with state management in React ecosystems.
